"Before this, I have always insisted that the dragon clan is a traitor, but now I suddenly have some doubts about whether these are true." Luo Tianyi walked to the window, "Just like I never thought that one day, among us elves,
The village will survive because of the protection of the dragon clan."
Zi Tong was shocked, "You... know everything?"
Luo Tianyi turned to her and smiled, "Please don't blame Luo Jia. We elves are really not good at lying. It was only after I promised not to reveal this matter that she told me the truth. And... I believe that there are some things that even
She doesn’t even know, right?”
Zi Tong knew that he was hinting at Beichen's identity, and she also laughed, "It doesn't matter what kind of tree a tree is, what's important is the fruit it bears, isn't it?"
"That's right." Luo Tianyi replied with a smile.
"It's getting late. It's time for Mr. Village Chief to have a good rest. I'll take my leave now."
Luo Tianyi sent her out the door and watched her go away before retracting his gaze and turning his face to look at the tree of life that shimmered slightly in the moonlight. His eyes looked through the gaps in the leaves to the sky.
In front of the bright moon, he raised his right hand and pressed it on his chest, and bowed reverently.
"Gods bless you!"

Zi Tong walked all the way to the tree house arranged by the elves for them, while still thinking about what happened just now.
Her eyes touched the pair of feet in black boots standing on the road, and she raised her face with a smile, "Are you waiting for me?"
Beichen stepped forward, bent down and picked her up from the ground, "Are you tired?"
"A little, but I don't want to sleep." Zi Tong stretched out an arm to hook her neck, raised her hand and pointed to a small bridge not far away, "Let's go sit there for a while."
Beichen did as he was told, carried her to the river, sat down cross-legged, and still held her in his arms.
"How is the situation in Central Continent?"
"The Luo family has been destroyed, and the Ximen Yi family has taken the initiative to surrender to me."
"Surrender?" Zi Tong tilted her head and looked at his face, "This doesn't look like you, is it because of me?"
"Yeah." He didn't hide it.
"That day, when I was sitting in the tree over there and looking at the stars, I was still thinking that one day I would take you to the Elf Village to see it. Unexpectedly, you came too soon."
"It's still a little late." He gently touched her face, "I'm sorry, Zi Tong."
Leaning her face against his chest, Zi Tong stretched out her arms to hug his neck, "I will temporarily bury Mr. Xue in Beihuang. After we go back, we will help him erect a monument and build a tomb properly."
"Don't be sad." Beichen raised his hand, gently stroked her hair, and patted her back, "I think he already knew that this day would come to him and was already prepared."
Zi Tong responded softly in his arms, Beichen took a gentle breath, and then hugged her tightly.
Only in front of him will she truly reveal her fragile side. Mr. Xue's death is indeed a big blow to Zi Tong.
For the first time in two lives, she felt the meaning of the word father, but that person left her so quickly. How could she not be sad? It was just that the situation was like that, and she couldn't care or want to show it.
Then, neither of them spoke anymore. She just buried her face in his neck. Beichen hugged her and patted her back until she fell asleep in his arms. He took out the thin ring from the ring.
The blanket wrapped her body tightly before she stood up, hugged her and walked towards the tree house.
